Shake a Lifeguard’s Hand in the Hamptons, They Saved 400 People This Year

Lifeguards in the Hamptons are responsible for rescuing approximately 400 people from drowning in the ocean this year. The water was much calmer this year in comparison to last year, which meant that there were fewer saves than usual.

CoopersBeach was estimated to be three times as slow, with roughly fifty rescues instead of one-hundred and fifty rescues compared to last year.

Still, 400 souls are alive today thanks to Lifeguards on the East End. “It’s just a job ma’am, it’s just a job.”
